As Cuba realizes Biden Continues
the Genocide Trump started!!
Realizing that the Biden administration is continuing the Genocide against Cuban families that the Trump administration left behind, Cuba has suspended U. S. dollars...including the remittances that many Cubans in the U. S. send back to the island to help relatives survive both the U.S. Embargo/Blockade and the COVID pandemic.
After failing to recapture Cuba with the Bay of Pigs military attack in April of 1961 and with the many failed attempts to kill Fidel Castro, in 1962 the U. S. began its Embargo for the purpose, as confirmed by de-classified U. S. documents, to deprive, starve, and make miserable Cubans on the island to induce Cubans on the island to rise up and overthrow their revolutionary government that had overthrown the U.S.-backed and Mafia-backed Batista dictatorship in 1959. After 6+ decades, the cruel {for Cubans in Cuba} but lucrative {for Cubans in Miami} Embargo still hasn't created the uprising on the island it intended, even with endless streams of tax-dollars encouraging dissidents in Cuba and Counter Revolutionaries in the U. S. to enhance the ongoing efforts.
Because the U. S. demands that it is so, Cuba has no relationship with the international banking systems and the U. S. routinely uses its worldwide influence to fine even foreign companies that do not bend to its stringent Cuban sanctions. Often those companies simply pay the fines in settlements because they otherwise might be deprived of engaging in normal commerce with the U. S. or U. S. allies.
Of course, in addition to highly funded anti-Cuba/pro-Little Havana propaganda blogs in the U. S., the mainstream media such as the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, the New York Times, etc. all have high-paid and high-profile 'journalists' regularly telling Americans how great the Batista dictators in Cuba were till 1959 and how great the Cubans in Little Havana have been since 1959.
With the decline of true journalism in the U. S., only a few competent and honest stalwarts -- led by Tracey Eaton -- even try to provide the facts about the Little Havana-led and money-crazed United States relationship with Cuba. Eaton, now also a beloved Journalism Professor in Florida, regularly uses the Freedom of Information laws to obtain and then list in startling detail the amount of tax dollars routinely doled out by the U. S. government seemingly to just about anybody that raises their hand and promises to help U. S. Counter Revolutionaries do their Cuban bidding, which seems to be geared toward two ageless things -- money and revenge!!
From Jan. 20-2017 till Jan. 20-2021 President Trump and Senator Rubio expanded the cruel and lucrative six-decade-old U. S. Embargo against Cuba into an even more cruel and lucrative U. S. Genocide against masses of Cuban families on the island. The main purpose of the Trump-Rubio cruelty and greed, of course, was to further enrich and empower selected Cuban-Americans in Miami, Newark/Union City, and the U. S. Congress. Of Course, because the topic is Cuba, neither the U. S. government nor the mainstream media had the courage or integrity to tell the U. S. people what they were doing. For example, Americans surely were not told that Trump-Rubio activated Title 3 of Helms-Burton so that rich Cubans in Miami could more easily sue companies in the U. S. or anywhere else after they charge Cuba, in U.S.-friendly courts, with anything they want to sue Cuba for. As happened last week, a Swiss company paid up quickly because it needs to bend to the U. S. economic power. Even the George W. Bush presidency from 2000 till 2009 refused to activate Title 3. Yes, as President George W. Bush, like his father GHW and his brother Jeb -- was totally aligned with the Little Havana-directed cruelty and richness related to Cuba. But during his two-terms, even President Bush refused to activate the GENOCIDAL Title 3 provision!!! But, without a whimper from either the mainstream U. S. media nor the U. S. citizens, both the TRUMP and BIDEN administrations have activated Title 3's GENOCIDE. So, in June of 2021 Title 3/Helms-Burton is the unchecked tool being used to expedite Genocide against totally innocent Cuban families on the island to appease Republican-anointed U. S. Cubans like Marco Rubio from Miami's ultra-unchecked and ultra-powerful Little Havana conclave.
But well into the month of June-2021, it is apparent that the Biden presidency as directed by Senator Bob Menendez is determined to continue the Trump-Rubio Genocide against Cubans in Cuba while, of course, continuing the largess for Cubans in Miami/Little Havana, Newark/Union City, and in the U. S. Congress. You see, the U. S. has a two-party political system and both are money-crazed, including massive donations that help politicians get elected and then allow them to stay around forever it seems. Trump-Rubio are Republicans while Biden-Menendez are Democrats. And in 2021 it is apparent that the USA's two-party political system needs at least a three-PARTY POLITICAL SYSTEM!! Proof of that is the fact that Biden & Menendez have greedily continued the Trump & Rubio genocide on Cubans in Cuba to appease the most greedy and most revengeful U. S. Cubans.
COMMENT:
While the prime benefactors in Cuba in the 1950s and in the U. S. since 1959 were/are obscenely greedy, I sincerely believe that the main culprits are the generations of U. S. citizens who have allowed it to happen, apparently without any appreciation of their Democracy. In 1952 the Dulles brothers and Nixon {then the Secretary of State, CIA Director, and Vice President} teamed the U. S. with the top echelon of the Mafia in the belief that rich Americans could better partake in the rape & robbery of the Caribbean's largest and most beautiful island if Cuba was a brutal dictatorship as opposed to a decent and honest democracy that would probably make sure that the country's resources would mostly benefit the everyday Cuban people. That generation of Americans in the 1950s didn't ask, "Why are we teaming with the Mafia in Cuba?" Instead Americans in the 1950s flocked to Cuba as tourists to revel in Mafiosi staples such as drugs, gambling, and prostitution. Then beginning in 1959 when exiles from Batista's Cuba took over Miami and quickly created Little Havana, U. S. soil resembled what Batista's lavish but brutal Havana had been. In other words, extreme wealth for some and extreme mayhem for the rest has been allowed to become ingrained deep within the bowels of the U. S. democracy...from Miami to Newark to Washington. Back in 1976 the great Cuban-American broadcaster-journalist in Miami, Emilio Milian, openly denounced the unchecked and deadly terrorism routinely administered by newly exiled Cubans against innocent Cubans in Miami and in Cuba. And then, not unexpectedly, the brave and decent Emilio Milian himself got car-bombed. That generation of Americans tolerated such things either out of fear or out of a lack of loving their democracy, but either way I believe that those U. S. citizens were as guilty as the terrorists who car-bombed Emilio Milian.
Needless to say, since things such as the car-bombing against Miami's bravest and best journalist Emilio Milian, it hasn't been healthy or politically correct to denounce terrorism against innocent Cubans or to denounce when the Trump and Biden administrations both have put Cuba on the U. S. List of Terrorist Nations, not because Cuba is a Terrorist Nation but by putting Cuba on that list it becomes must easier to sue companies, domestic or foreign, that may have done or is doing business with Cuba...you know, for not obeying the vast myriad sanctions against Cuba. No one, you see, wants the same fate that befell Emilio Milian just because he was a decent and honest journalist.
In the annals of the United States, the Mafia and Mobsters have played integral roles. The list above includes the names and photos of two Mafia kingpins -- Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky -- who teamed with the U. S. government to support the Batista dictatorship prior to the notable intervention on Jan. 1-1959 by the Cuban Revolution. In fact, Mafia experts often list Luciano and Lansky as the two all-time most powerful and smartest Mafia leaders. It was Luciano and Lansky who from 1952 till 1959 brutalized and robbed Cuba at will...along with some of the USA's largest businesses.
The graphic above correctly points out that Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Fulgencio Batista ruled Mafia-saturated Cuba -- with the ample help of the United States of America -- from 1952 till 1959, spawning the Cuban Revolution.
After the 1898 Spanish-American War, the U. S. replaced Spain as the dominant force in Cuba. Therefore, the U. S. had a chance to make Cuba, the largest and arguably the most beautiful nation in the Caribbean, into a world-class Democracy with a Capital D. But that didn't happen. In 1903, for example, the U. S. stole gorgeous Guantanamo Bay from Cuba and built a plush and still flourishing Military Base and an infamous Prison there. By 1952 the U. S. democracy teamed with the very top echelon of the Mafia -- Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky -- to support the brutal and thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba. By 1952 the U. S. was also supporting brutal dictators such as Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Samoso in Nicaragua, etc. The U. S. idea, of course, was that rich U. S. companies in brutal dictatorships could partake in the rape & robbery of small countries while in democracies those natural resources would mostly stay in those nations to help native people. When the U. S. media and U. S. people allowed that to help to their democracy, by the 1970s the U. S. had willy-nilly participated in things like a bloody coup that replaced the popular, democratically-elected President Salvador Allende with the incredibly brutal but U.S.-friendly Dictator Augusto Pinochet for 17 extremely brutal years. Of course, brutal dictators like Batista, Trujillo, Somoso, Pinochet, etc. -- as loyalists of the U. S. -- always tried to help the U. S. try to recapture or brutalize Cuba after the Cuban Revolution in 1959 shocked the world by chasing U. S. allies -- including Luciano and Lansky -- out of Cuba!! So Little Cuba was the little nation that reminded the world that the U. S. preferred dictators and not democracies because democracies would not tend to allow FOREIGN NATIONS to rob them blind!!!
When the United States supported the Luciano-Lansky-Batista dictatorship in the 1950s, American tourists and companies were encouraged to flock to Cuba with fistful of dollars. Since the Cuban Revolution in 1959 ended the Mafiosi-Batistiano rule, the continuous U.S/Little Havana effort to starve and/or overthrow Revolutionary Cuba has been woefully unsuccessful, except for severely harming Cuban families in Cuba and making a lot of millionaires and billionaires out of selected Cuban-Americans. In June of 2021 the Biden administration in Washington has followed the Trump administration by imposing the most severe genocide heaped on masses of Cubans in Cuba since 1959. And still, this generation of Americans in June of 2021 has been programmed to accept genocide being imposed in their names on innocent Cubans in Cuba...just as in 1952 when that generation of Americans accepted it when the U. S. democracy teamed itself with the Mafia to support the brutal, thieving Batista dictatorship in Cuba.
This map reveals the sheer closeness that Cuba is to the U. S., namely to Florida. Cuba is also the largest and the most beautiful island nation in the Caribbean. In June of 2021, Cuba's size, location, and beauty...along with its resilient, sovereignty-loving, sports-loving, music-loving, well-educated, and family-oriented people deserve a lot more than to be targeted by genocide designed by a handful of greedy, revengeful, and not-so-nice people using the incomparable power and treasury of the world's superpower nation, which hovers ominously just north of the island's coastline. To many observers, Cuba has been and remains the Superstar of the Caribbean since 1492, the year Columbus called it "the most beautiful land these eyes have ever seen." Beyond question, Cuba has far more economic potential than any country in the Caribbean or than in any country close to its size in all of Latin America. Of course, extreme propaganda has told Americans that the reason Cuba is not the economic Superstar in the Caribbean is because of its own fault, and that is a bald-faced lie not befitting a democracy, just as it was not befitting for the U. S. democracy to team with the Mafia in the rape and robbery of the island in the 1950s. For example, no other small nation in the entire world could have survived things as unchecked terror attacks {such as the bombing of the child-laden civilian plane {Cubana Flight 455} in which all 73 people on board were killed; or how many other countries could have survived an air-land-sea military attack known as the Bay of Pigs; and, most of all, no other small nation in the entire world except Cuba could have survived and is surviving what has been history's all-time cruelest and longest Embargo/Blockade ever imposed on a much smaller nation by a much larger nation.
The fact that American's are programmed not to be ashamed about this accurate image SAYS A LOT MORE ABOUT AMERICA THAN IT SAYS ABOUT CUBA. From the world's strongest democracy, consistent propaganda from the 1950's till June of 2021 has created successive generations of Americans who accept multiple calamities regarding Cuba...allowing the Mafia to brutalize and ransack Cuba starting in 1952 in the Batista dictatorship; providing Batistiano exiles on U. S. soil the wherewithal to terrorize Cubans including bombing a child-laden civilian airplane into the ocean; trying to starve Cubans in Cuba from 1962 till June of 2021 while making it easy for selected Cubans in South Florida to become politically powerful millionaires and billionaires; taking advantage of the COVID pandemic in June of 2021 to further enrich and empower U. S. Cubans while further tightening the screws against Cubans in Cuba; etc.; etc.; etc.!!!
